    Hi team, we appreciate the added feedback from you on the behaviours from classic that you'd find useful in new invoicing. The invoice number assignment is still a feature that our teams are continuing to monitor closely. Right now, while we don’t have plans for changing the way invoice numbers are assigned, our product teams are considering future improvements - As part of this they are doing some discovery that we’d love to get your contribution to.

    We'd like to invite you to share back though our survey here. Insights from this will help our product teams get a deepened sense of our invoicing users. Thanks

    This idea has been here for 9 months but it is a critical issue especially in some jurisdictions like the Philippines where TAX invoices must be sequential AND chronological. If number are missing or out of sequence, the Tax authority will ask a lot of questions.

    My suggestion is that the sequence number is only added to the document upon FINAL approval and sending. Prior to that it should be in draft mode and we don't really care what the nuber is at that stage.

    I believe this simple approach would help ALL customers.

    Thank you
